    Any body got any real idea of when any of us would potentially start the training? Or are we in a sort of standby situation? Presuming we all make it of course!!

    You could challenge it but sometimes it could do you a favour having an ill interviewer for various reasons. Remember they don't have a clue on the technical things you're saying but it's just to see if you can express your thoughts clearly and you're not a crackpot!

    Don't second guess yourself, just forget about it until you get the email!

    I'd say they'd be facilitating the operation in the south first. Some decent quarries up here!

    Fingers crossed the contract is now sorted out and progress with medicals will come through! It's our home living location of Stockport. We can get to Crewe, Peak Forest, Trafford Park and such all under an hour. And connect to anywhere from the train station.

    Its judging the amount of distance between each bit of correspondence but I usually go for a week and never conduct business on a Monday! But if you don't ask you don't get. They said the medical will be within two weeks so I'll wait the usual week and see. At least you've had railway...

    @TeaTrain @LRV3004 I ended up having to get hold of them by email today. Then I had no particular yes or no, just please click this link and fill the form in. The form was for availability for a medical so I guess I passed the interview!! As it says on the form a job offer depends on the medical...

    Yeah I was toying with that idea, can't hurt. I'd have thought the decision was made. Only three of us went so it can't be too much of an undertaking to notify three people.

    It was a mobile. I didn't get the impression they were the type of people to not answer or try ringing you again. I applied in Nov 19, had no contact until that call.

    I had a call on the Monday and was in Birmingham on the Friday for an interview so here's hoping for both of us! I'm guessing you'll have been in on that day too? Only one day of interviewing apparently, there were four candidates but one cancelled and it sounds like a lot of drivers are needed.
